According to last evening's bulletin
the rivera had fallen nearly everywhere
above us. At Cincinnati the fall was ten
inches; at chattanooga, two inches; at
Louisville, eight inches; St. Louis, three
inches. Here, a rice of two feet four inches
was reported. At Louisville the fall be
gan during Thursday night. Louisville's
fall ought to reach here about to-night or
to morrow morning and ought to be per
ceptible here then unless intermodule
rains and streams nullified it.
A feature of great interest at the Cotui
quo Thursday night was the wrestling
match between Mr. Dick Cummin,' and
Mr. William Willie, which concluded
the performance. The match waa made fur
a stake of $100, the party making thr .-e
throws out of five taking the money.
There wat a largo audience and bets were
many and in same cases heavy. Referees
were chosen from .the audience who took
positions upon tho stage. The contest bo
gan about 11 o'clock and continued for
about half an hour, during which a fine
display of strength and akill w mndu
particularly by Mr. Cummings who, it was
plain fr im tho first, wis much the superior
in every way. Mr. Cummings threw bis
oppouent six times in succession In ss many
rounds, throwing him once more than the
number of rounds agreed upon in order to
decide the second, about which there was
some, dispute. Cummings, of course, took
the money, and annnuncod at the conclu
sion, that he would wrestle with any Cairoito
at any timo for any sum not exceeding ono
bundled dollars 'just to please the boys."
